Robot Firefighters May Be Coming Soon

Fighting fires is a dirty and dangerous jobs. Fire fighters literally
put their lives on the line to control a blaze and safe the life of a
person who may be inside of the building. But what if you do not have a
life to risk? What if you are literally built to endure the heat, the
ash and the generally extreme situations of being inside of a burning
building?

Well, then that would make you a robot. At least it
will if the dreams of a team of Purdue University researchers come true.
The team is working on a fire-fighting robot that is designed to help
beat blazes with a minimum risk to the lives of humans. The bot, which
has the appearance of a tiny orange tank, is designed to change the way
that fires are being fought.

The device is not currently on the market. The team is hoping to
work out a few bugs and make some tweaks before they put it on sale to
fire departments.
